How to work from home

I’ve been working from home for about 1 year now, so I know there’s still much to learn. But I like to think of myself as an observant, critical-thinker who can soak in a lot of information in short amounts of time.

Have a routine

I mean it. When I first started, I was so ecstatic at the thought of being able to sleep later every day (re: no hour-long commute) that I went to the other extreme and slept until it was time to open my computer.

 Get out of the house

This may sound counterintuitive to the purpose of “working from home,” but you need to get yourself out of the house a few days a week

your couch, your bed, it’s not a great idea to spend so much time holed-up in one place. I mean, have you seen The Shining?

So adjust your budget for a few lattes each month, and head into town. Again, you’ll thank me later.

Prepare for meals

As a remote employee, I no longer have these benefits. Everything I eat comes from the time I spend grocery shopping. I’ve found I have to be a lot more proactive about mealtime.

This doesn’t mean you need to have all of your meals made outside of work hours. Just make sure you’ve acquired all the ingredients/supplies you need to sustain your body before the work week begins. It’s okay to spend your lunch hour cooking; just have advance knowledge of where your food is coming from.

You’ll find this saves you significant time, money, and frustration down the line!

Create a work-designated space
Set up the perfect work-from-home office with this guide.
Whether you live in a beachside villa or in a small apartment in a big city, you can create a space to designate for your home office.
If I work in my bed, I’m taking a nap. That’s just the truth on that. Which is why, as soon as I moved into my new place, I set up a work desk that houses my monitor, notebooks, and other office-related supplies.

This makes me feel like I have a spot to go to every day that’s specifically for work. I also feel this distinction keeps my brain from viewing my entire apartment as a workspace. That’s not to say I don’t sit on the couch and send outreach emails.
Have hobbies

This is just general advice that I relay to anyone, regardless of working status: have hobbies, interests, and plans. Few things feel more isolating than working at home all day and hanging at home all night. I’ve gone full days before without speaking to a single human face-to-face and, as an extrovert, those days are tough.
